cantex i was thinking the same thing...but i remember on a post a while back they explained what they did...they basically bred the 1/2 and  1/2 to only pits, whenever they got pups that had the catahoula color they bred them to other pits, and they continued that process. so basically they have bred down the cat(its still there, just in such a small dosage that it's almost insignificant....but it is still there).

this is turning into a very good discussion..keep it going...uglydog i think are very right a lot of times they are accidental breedings, but why is there more "accidental" breedings with cats and catch dogs than bmcs and catchdogs..i would like to know why mr. mason chose to cross the dogo and the cat to make his catdo's..now i know he is cat guy, but why not try the bmc he had access to some darn good bmcs when he first started making those crosses.

my personal opinion is that the cat gets used because there will be some good coloring in the pups. when you use a bmc the colors normally aren't very large...black, brindle, yella, and some reds..lol..throw a cat in the mix and there is no telling what you will get..lol
